Helping Students Learn is a 3-part series on research-based teaching theories and methods. They will be led by Eric Burkholder (Auburn University, Engineering Education Researcher). These 3 sessions will introduce the basics of memory, learning and transfer, and assessment. Participants will be able to apply research from cognitive psychology directly to their instructional approach in a way that centers and promotes student learning and success.

The Gameful and Immersive Learning Symposium presents innovative methods and technologies for teaching such as reward systems that encourage engagement, adaptive content that personalizes learning for individual students, and human-scale immersive environments that place students within the material’s authentic contexts. Using combinations of these can create impactful educational experiences.
